Chapter 243: The Richest City in America

Ye Luo participated in this kind of banquet for the first time in his life, even if Lin Kai, who was known as the 'little prince of the banquet', took it, he was not very adaptable, let alone let it go.

After chatting with a Mercedes-Benz executive, Ye Luo lost interest in continuing.

The main reason is that there is too much difference in culture and contact.

People raised a glass with him and began to talk about wine culture, and the world's five major wineries counted one by one, and he was stunned when he listened, and he couldn't answer at all.

In the end, Ye Luo, who was too lazy to bother to communicate with these people, basically didn't open his mouth except for introducing his name, and Lin Kai beside him saw the impatience that gradually appeared on Ye Luo's face, so he stepped forward and took the topic away.

Such an occasion is simply not too easy for him.

In the end, Ye Luo, under the leadership of Lin Kai, went around and exchanged business cards, and went to communicate with the stars.

……

At this time, the young people on the scene, in addition to the sons and nephews of Wall Jones and other tycoons, the rest are Ye Luo, Lin Kai and NBA stars.

Although the stars are on the pitch, they are also a little unpopular in this kind of social situation.

Again, the information and resources of the two sides are not equal.

After seeing that everyone had arrived, Wal-Jones made a speech at the beginning of the banquet, thanking the other company executives who were present for the dinner, thanking the NBA stars, and thanking everyone for the celebrities and tycoons who came to the dinner, and then it was a set of empty words.

Ye Luo has heard too much of this set of empty words, and what Wal-Jones said is not much better than his father's speech at the company's annual meeting every year in his previous life.

The banquet lasted about an hour and a half and ended before twelve o'clock.

Ye Luo hugged and said goodbye to several stars such as Curry, Paul, Wade and Bosh, who had a better relationship, and then went back to sleep.

For the next three days, Ye Luo would go to watch the game every day.

Also sitting in the second row behind the first row of benches, probably having attended a banquet together before, plus the relationship that can be seen every day, most of the stars are familiar with Ye Luo and Lin Kai, and almost most of the stars have exchanged contact information with Ye Luo.

In the blink of an eye, three days passed.

The All-Star Fight is finally over.

The star's short vacation is also over, and he is about to enter the second half of the tense regular season, so when leaving, everyone hugged Ye Luo and Lin Kai, because each other's contact information was already available, so Ye Luo left his own address, so that when they had nothing to do on vacation, they could go to their own place to go on vacation and play.

……

Ye Luo, who ended his all-star journey, originally planned to go back to Hawaii, but I don't know where he learned that he was in the United States, Xia Xiaofei suddenly called him and told him that Lavigny was filming a commercial in Miami at this time, and if he was okay, he could go over to find her and come back together after she finished shooting the poster.

After learning the news, Ye Luo immediately used his mobile phone to log on to the American travel network to book a ticket to Maicheng that day, and pulled Lin Kai, who also had nothing to do, to fly to Maicheng together.

Mai and Pau are both located on the east coast of the United States.

But the two positions, one in the far north and the other in the far south, flew over Pau almost as much as the whole of America.

But the power of modern technology is powerful, and if you get on a plane at such a long distance, it will take more than three hours at most on the earth in the previous life.

In the water blue star, it flew for more than 30 hours, that is, more than a day.

Time flies, and after nearly two days of travel, the plane finally arrived at Maicheng International Airport.

Among the major cities in the United States, Maicheng is relatively small in size, but because of its pleasant climate, it is wonderful

It is one of the most densely populated cities in the United States and the largest metropolitan area in the southeastern United States.

When he was in Pau, Ye Luo already felt that the pace of city life was very fast, with a lot of people and traffic, but now he realized that it was nothing after he came to Maicheng!

The airport is still 40 kilometers away from the city of Maicheng, and there are no buildings around, but in such a place, there is also an endless stream of people coming and going.

Of course, considering that Maicheng is one of the top 10 best tourist cities in the United States, this kind of foot traffic is actually quite normal.

Ye Luo and Lin Kai walked out of the airport with suitcases full of gifts to take home and two or three sets of clothes for each of them, like most tourists, they were wearing sunglasses and wearing cool clothes, Lin Kai was wearing colorful beach pants and flip-flops on his feet.

As soon as the two of them left the airport, a blue taxi drove by, and behind this car was a long fleet of taxis, which showed how good the city's tourism industry is.

After getting into the car, the taxi driver was a black man with a beard, who looked a bit violent, but was actually gentle and talkative, and when he learned that the two of them were in Maicheng for the first time, the driver first asked, "Guys, do you know where the richest city in America is?"

"Of course. ”

Lin Kai smiled: "Then there is no need to say, it must be New City!"

New City, this city also has another name to describe its popularity, and its name is the Big Apple!

The financial center of the world!

The center of the universe in the hearts of proud Americans!

The driver laughed, shook his head, and said, "That's not right, can you guess again?"

Ye Luo thought for a while and said, "Since it's not New City, then it's Los Angeles, don't tell me it's Maicheng." ”

The unshakable position of the No. 1 and No. 2 cities in the United States is there, and even if it is not the turn of Maicheng, it will not be the turn of Maicheng.

However, when he finished speaking, the driver slammed the horn button on the steering wheel, and the taxi 'horned', and the driver shouted with pride: "You guessed it, my yellow brother! Yes, it's Maicheng, man, congratulations on your entry into the richest city in America!"

Hearing this, Ye Luo smiled and did not justify, he knew that most Americans were proud and stubborn, and people in every city thought that their hometown was the best.

The driver understood the meaning of his smile, pulled out a newspaper from the visor and threw it on the back seat, Ye Luo opened it curiously and saw that it was a "Maicheng Herald" newspaper.

This is one of the most famous newspapers in Maicheng, and on the newspaper page, it reports the latest UBS wealth assessment of global cities, in which Maicheng is really rated as the richest city in the United States and the fifth richest city in the world.

After Ye Luo and Lin Kai finished reading the newspaper, the driver began to babble about the city, and his tone was full of pride and pride.

The car was driving fast on a smooth road.

Soon.

The coastline appears next to the highway, and all the beaches that appear are high-quality, the golden sand is evenly spread on the seaside, and the snow-white waves are lapping up one after another.

This is the famous Mai Cheng Beach.

Not far away is the long long sand embankment across Biscan Bay, known locally as the billion-dollar sand bar.

It is one of the characteristic landmarks of the city.

The car drove more than five kilometers to the east and entered the eastern part of Maicheng.

At this time, there were more cars, the wide highway was blocked, and the car stopped for several minutes.

Ye Luo opened the window and looked out, there was a sandy beach not far away, so that pedestrians crossed the road, and around this kind of beach bathing, don't expect tourists to obey the traffic laws.

The car started to move in front of them, and two coolly dressed long-legged beauties came up and knocked on the window, they looked in their twenties, wearing lace dresses that were not much more than bikini fabric, long and fluttering, red lips like fire, and looked very amorous.

The driver pulled down the glass and asked, "Sweetheart, what's the matter?"

"Is it convenient to take us to the Apollo Hotel? We didn't have any money, but we can make you feel good on the way. A girl said with a playful laugh.

The driver was unmoved, and pointed back: "It's a pity, sweetheart, I'm bringing a friend, let's do it another day." ”

After saying that, with one foot of the accelerator, the car flew out.

"Fuck, fowl, beast, this is a damn capitalist country? We Hawaii can't compare with anyone else!"

Lin Kai looked at Ye Luo in shock, and said with a distressed expression: "Look at it, look at it, what have these people fallen into, no, I have to stay here to help these degenerate children!"

"You kid should be honest, do you know what Maicheng is most famous for? Tornadoes and gangsters! Be careful that you have your waist cut off by these depraved children, then you will be happy for the rest of your life. ”

Ye Luowan smiled, and then said angrily: "Also, who told you that our Hawaii can't compare to Maicheng? If you really want to compare, our Hawaii and Maicheng are almost comparable, no, it should be said that we Hawaii have more fun, as for why I didn't see such a situation, it is related to the local culture." ”

Because Ye Luo and the two talked in Huaxia, the driver had never learned and couldn't understand, so he asked them what they were talking about.

Ye Luo laughed and joked in English, they were discussing the affair just now, and the driver couldn't help but pout: "Do you think they will really let you take advantage?" Hmph, they are Ji girls at first glance, this is a little trick to pull ke, to tease you with anger and ask for a high price, I haven't seen anything in Black Bear Buck, and you still want to lie to me?"

……

After arriving at the hotel where Lavigny was staying, Ye Luo gave the driver a hundred dollars, and the driver wanted to find money, so he smiled and said, "Man, the rest is counted as a tip for you." ”

After the driver learned that they were here to travel, he talked all the way about the beautiful scenery of the city and also taught them some local shopping tips, which was not easy, and Ye Luo, who had always been generous, was not so stingy that he was not willing to give even a few dozen dollars.

The bearded driver stretched out his hand and flicked it on the green banknote, whistling, and at the same time handed Ye Luo a business card of his own: "Cool, man, I like you Chinese, you are all rich and generous, this is my business card, I am Black Bear Buck, if you need to use a car these days, you must contact me." ”

Ye Luo accepted the business card, and Lin Kai casually found a convenience store to eat something first, the plane meal was too unpalatable, and the two of them basically didn't eat much, and now they are hungry.

This convenience store has a simple name, called a grilled burger, and the dΓ©cor is similar to that of KFC, but their cash register is at the door.

Ye Luo ordered two set meals, paid for the food and found a seat to sit down, he smiled: "The owner of this shop is very bold, he actually put the cash register at the door, which is convenient for robbers, and you can run ...... after grabbing the money."

As soon as his words fell, a GMC pickup truck roared over, and a beautiful drift flick blocked the door of the store, and two big men with black silk on their heads jumped out of the car, one holding a revolver in his hand, it was a Colt DS detective .38 caliber revolver, short and powerful.

The gun that the other person was carrying in his hand was very familiar to Ye Luo, and he also had one at home.

It's the robbers' favorite, the King of Melee Combat, the Remington M87O shotgun!
